JW Broadcasting - August 2019 Updates

Good day brothers and sisters. Welcome to the August 2019 update of JW Broadcasting. But before anything else, I would like to remind everyone that today (date of writing: July 26, 2019), is a noteworthy date for us. It was 88 years ago when we received our "Jehovah's Witnesses" name at a convention in Columbus, Ohio, U.S.A. Before that time we had been called Bible Students, but all in the audience during a special talk on July 26, 1931, agreed to be called Jehovah’s Witnesses from then on. That was a very exciting day, because we received a new name that came from the Bible.
